Price Delivery Quality Review by John(Posted on 27/06/2022)Always excellent quality.I have bought 5 products from SGS over the last 12 months. All of them are excellent quality and work as described. No complaints from me and I expect to be using them for years to come. Can SGS improve, of course…. better instructions; better communications about shipment; improved finishing (sharp edges!) …. however these are small things …. overall this is the best company I have dealt with online. Recommended. -

Delivery Quality Price Review by DIY Welly(Posted on 13/12/2019)QualityA Quality well engineered engine hoist .Assembly is easy taking about half an hour ,I assembled on my own but I would recommend two, as the parts our quite heavy. The most fiddely part is fitting the casters but once I realised that fitting the two bolts in the slotted holes first and sliding it to the outside of the base section , which made it easier to get your hand in the base section to fit the nuts. Which gets to my only critism that the build instructions could be better
I would recommend. -

Quality Price Delivery Review by Ross Simpson(Posted on 08/08/2019)Great bit of kit!Ordered the 1 ton engine crane, super fast delivery. Brilliant piece of kit, well made, all bolts already in place, so you don’t need to spend an hour sorting which one goes where... it’s sturdy, and you can put your trust in it completely..... oh and it’s black, way cooler than a red one... and talking of red ones, don’t bother going on eBay, for one of those cheaper jobs, having recently sold one on after using it once, it scared the hell out of me, they’re just awful. -
Quality Price Delivery Review by Paul Ellis(Posted on 25/07/2019)I am delighted with the crane.I was looking around for an engine crane, ebay, amazon etc. came across as a mine field of uncertainty. I found the SGS website which is superb and informative and after reading specifications and great reviews, I decided to buy an EC1000 engine crane from them. It was delivered in no time at all, was easily assembled, the quality is excellent. I will be buying from SGS again. -

Delivery Quality Price Review by Roger(Posted on 20/10/2018)Really is professional QualityI looked at the price of hiring an engine crane and decided that I would buy one as I needed first to remove my engine and then reinstall it again some time later. I was concerned that buying unseen I might end up with something of questionable quality made in China.
I would recommend the SGS engine crane to anyone. It is well engineered, very heavy construction and works extremely well. It took myself and a neighbour just to slide the delivered carton into my garage.
Well done SGS on providing such a great piece of kit at such a fair price. -
Quality Price Delivery Review by Mike(Posted on 18/10/2018)Second purchase from SGSSecond purchase from SGS, prompt delivery of a 1 Tonne engine lift, good quality for the price, would recommend this company for good service and products. -
Price Delivery Quality Review by R clarke(Posted on 03/02/2017)Great product and excellent delivery serviceGreat sturdy piece of kit, put together in 30-45mins on your own and it came the next day..
The only thing I would criticise is, when folding it up, it is becomes quite unbalanced. Also when it is folded (nice and neatly I might add) the little stopper on the front which stops it tipping forward, when it's don't enough to lock it in position it will never fall forward however it doesn't take a lot to make it fall backwards.. but really pleased overall for money -

Price Delivery Quality Review by Bob Godsell(Posted on 23/02/2015)1 Ton Engine HoistHave planned on several types of hoist in my garage, but this one answers all questions.
Could not have purchased so much steel and made such a Useful Tool for the same price.It is a permanent friend when you need one, and store it it away neatly when finished using it . Thank you S.G.S. -
Price Delivery Quality Review by tony antoniou(Posted on 17/01/2015)fantastic value..highly recommendedA great piece of kit...better built and sgnificantly cheaper than competitors , including those from Sealey and Machine Mart. took out combined engine and gearbox from my old Volvo with ease... You need to buy a hook and chain or levelling gantry to be able to use the crane though . Highly recommended. -
Price Delivery Quality Review by Dave Bramley(Posted on 09/12/2014)1 ton egine hoistGot mine delivered yesterday. Real pleased with the heavy build quality. Nice bit a tackle. Needs 2 people really to assemble. Rear castors a bit of a fiddle with stubby fingers. 10/10 as a lifting hoist tho. -
Price Delivery Quality Review by John Macleod(Posted on 08/10/2014)Great productExcellent service,very helpfull staff super fast delivery and a great product -
Price Delivery Quality Review by JULIAN SMITH(Posted on 17/04/2014)BRILLIANT PIECE OF KIT AT A GREAT PRICEArrived following day just as they said. Heavy pack but OK for 2 people. Quite easy to erect, but instructions could be a bit fuller. A note to say caster bolts must have nuts on inside of tube would have saved me 20mins as the bolts wont clear the revolving caster. Then its very diffcult to get nut and washers on unless you have a very small hand. Quality is very solid and workmanlike, lifted my 300Kg engine with no trouble or effort. Overall very good value. If the rest of SGS kit is like this buy with absolute confidence from this company. -
Price Delivery Quality Review by John Turnbull(Posted on 16/04/2014)Delighted with the productI needed an engine crane in my garage to move a very heavy lathe around. I ordered the 1 Ton version primarily because of its positive reviews here, its price and, because I live in Northern Ireland, the very reasonable cost of transport - £50 as opposed to many rivals who wanted up to £110!
I can't praise the (Nightline) courier company highly enough. They rang me and unfortunately I was running late. The courier very kindly off loaded the crane himself - the guy must have been an Olympic weight lifter!) and left it neatly outside my garage.
The crane went together in about 25 minutes; it would have been quicker if I'd read the instructions properly and put the wheel bolts in the right way round.
All in all delighted with my purchase. -
Quality Price Delivery Review by Dirk(Posted on 17/10/2013)A quality tool in a class of its ownwas suprised by the quality of this crane for its price- definately value for money. solid, well engineered and easy to assemble ( took me 45 mins). smooth and precise action, cant think of anything to fault. if you are in the market for a hoist this is a must. -
Quality Price Delivery Review by CB(Posted on 10/10/2013)Cant be beat on priceGreat hoist, does take a bit of patience assembling but once I had it figured out it went quickly. Well made and does the job excellently and can't be beat on price -
Price Delivery Quality Review by Tim(Posted on 20/09/2013)Excellent valueThis hoist is every bit as good as expected. Stores away nicely in the corner and can be quickly pulled out and put into action.
Very well built and excellent value for money. -
Price Delivery Quality Review by Charlie(Posted on 07/08/2013)Well madeVery well made with a good finish, this crane is excellent value. I also purchased an engine stand which fits nicely between the legs and allowed my to lift my V8 straight onto the stand. -
Price Delivery Quality Review by Theo(Posted on 31/07/2013)Super craneSuper crane, i've not actually used it on an engine yet but rather for moving a lathe around our workshop! It was quick to put together, just remember as others have noted not to tighten the bolts up until the whole things is assembled.
Great bit of kit and I would definately recommend it to anyone. -
Price Delivery Quality Review by Rich(Posted on 25/07/2013)Greatthanks sgs, very pleased with the quality and speed of delivery of my crane. it's very sturdy and feels solid when in use -
Price Delivery Quality Review by Hairy Jim(Posted on 01/07/2013)A GodsendI ordered this item at 3pm on Friday. It arrived on my doorstep at 07:40 on the Monday!! Never had better service, I collect older Land Rovers, and parts are heavier than most cars... This handled three engines easily within 30 minutes of being assembled (which, by the way, was a doddle). Thank you chaps! -
Delivery Quality Price Review by John S(Posted on 19/06/2013)Very satisfied customerI ordered a 1 ton engine hoist from you yesterday. It arrived within 24 hours and is of very good quality and price. Thank you from a very satisfied customer. -
Price Delivery Quality Review by patches(Posted on 07/06/2013)Dont bother hiring one at this price you might as well own it!I was supposed to be getting a loan of a crane for free but it was not able to happen in the end. I needed one for at least 2 weeks and the cost of hiring was more than the cost of buying this crane!
I seen all the good reviews and thought this was the best deal. Priced cheaper than some of the unbranded ebay items, i thought it was best to go with a well established company than ebay when it comes to supporting my engine!
So glad i went with sgs! Build quality is outstanding for the price! Its a full size crane so make sure you have space for it. No problems what so ever. Very happy with my purchase! -
Delivery Quality Price Review by Mike(Posted on 21/05/2013)Big frameI bought this crane after I saw it in the SGS showroom. I had been looking for a crane and had just purchased the Clarke 1 ton online but didn't realise how small the frame was from the pictures - almost half the size of the SGS crane! Considering this is also cheaper is was a no-brainer for me to return the Clarke and purchase the SGS version instead. -
Price Delivery Quality Review by Steven(Posted on 09/05/2013)Great hoist great priceGreat engine hoist at a great price.
I got it put it together in about 30 min and it worked great with all the adjustments on it. The main reason that I got this one was that it of folds away and you can roll it into the corner without it taking up too much room in the garage. I would recommend the hoist. -
Delivery Quality Price Review by Don(Posted on 26/02/2013)Very pleasedHi, I used your crane and also your engine stand to lift and work on a Rover V8 and it is a great combo. The crane is very sturdy and feels safe and stable. I will be using you again the in the future. -
Price Delivery Quality Review by Rixy(Posted on 19/02/2013)GoodA well designed tool. Easy to use, store. -
Price Delivery Quality Review by Thomas(Posted on 14/02/2013)Very pleasedWell made with a sturdy chassis and the ram is quick to extend. Some assembly is required but nothing too difficult. I would recommend this crane for home or garage use. -
Delivery Quality Price Review by John(Posted on 07/02/2013)Well made craneI was looking at making my own engine crane and had done a bit of research looking for some designs but a number of people recommended that I purchase a proper crane for safety reasons. When I found your's at such a great price I was convinced! Thanks SGS, it works a charm so one very satisfied customer. -
Price Delivery Quality Review by Ralph Fields(Posted on 04/02/2013)Good craneThanks I got my hoist next day as promised and it does the job brilliantly. Very useful around the garage. -
Quality Price Delivery Review by Howie(Posted on 01/02/2013)Pleased as punchGreat value engine crane and certainly worth the money if you have a small to medium sized engine to remove. Quick to assemble and easy to use, what's not like! This is my 3rd purchase SGS and you have delivered next day every time, thank you. -
Price Delivery Quality Review by Will(Posted on 31/01/2013)Quality CraneQuality bit of gear, i've already used mine to lift an engine and a transmission with no difficulties. Folds away quickly and easily for storage, great product for the price. -
Price Delivery Quality Review by Andy(Posted on 30/01/2013)Great bit of kitI think this hoist is very good value for money, i've used it on all sorts of things not just engines. Assembly wasn't too bad and it feels really tough and more than strong enough to support 1 Ton. -
Price Delivery Quality Review by Guy Rogers(Posted on 17/01/2013)Very pleased with this craneAfter much deliberation I finally managed to convince myself that I really needed one of these cranes - after all you can never have too many tools! There is a bit of assembly but nothing difficult and it feels really sturdy when in use.
It's quite compact when folded down and dismantled and doesn't take up too much room in my garage.

So glad i went with sgs! Build quality is outstanding for the price! Its a full size crane so make sure you have space for it. No problems what so ever. Very happy with my purchase! -
Delivery Quality Price Review by Mike(Posted on 21/05/2013)Big frameI bought this crane after I saw it in the SGS showroom. I had been looking for a crane and had just purchased the Clarke 1 ton online but didn't realise how small the frame was from the pictures - almost half the size of the SGS crane! Considering this is also cheaper is was a no-brainer for me to return the Clarke and purchase the SGS version instead. -
Price Delivery Quality Review by Steven(Posted on 09/05/2013)Great hoist great priceGreat engine hoist at a great price.
I got it put it together in about 30 min and it worked great with all the adjustments on it. The main reason that I got this one was that it of folds away and you can roll it into the corner without it taking up too much room in the garage. I would recommend the hoist. -

Price Delivery Quality Review by Andy(Posted on 30/01/2013)Great bit of kitI think this hoist is very good value for money, i've used it on all sorts of things not just engines. Assembly wasn't too bad and it feels really tough and more than strong enough to support 1 Ton. -
Price Delivery Quality Review by Guy Rogers(Posted on 17/01/2013)Very pleased with this craneAfter much deliberation I finally managed to convince myself that I really needed one of these cranes - after all you can never have too many tools! There is a bit of assembly but nothing difficult and it feels really sturdy when in use.
It's quite compact when folded down and dismantled and doesn't take up too much room in my garage.
